will it work, how will it look
 
I'm not a tire expert, but am currently looking for tires for when I get my bullits.

Going 18x9 and 18x10

Found some good prices on Kumho ECSTAS, wondering if this tire combo would work and look right...

front: 265/35YR18
rear: 295/30YR18


like I said I dont know all the breakdowns of tires, will the 35 front and 30 rear make a bad combo?

I would go 35's instead of 30's on the rear.It would match up alot better.

what does teh #'s mean like i know that the last number is the rims size but what about the othe size

Lances03SVT 02-03-2006 03:51 PM

Width and hieght.

hate to say it "Lance" but you are way wrong.....the 30's in the back is the way to go because the second number ex... 35,30..... is a percentage of the overall width of the tire (the first number) ex... 275,295.... so if you run a 275-35-18 up front and 295-30-18 in back then the sidewalls will be the same height.... i personally ran 275-35-18 front and 295-35-18 back cause i like the look of having the taller sidewall in back... but 35 front and 30 back will match up perfectly

Mine match up perfectly.They are almost the same hieght exactly.A 295 would have been better but could'nt find one in stock.

aaa/bb/cc

aaa = width of tire in centimeters

bb = ratio of the space between rim and end of tire compared to entire wheel

cc = size of rim

if bb didnt make sense, a size of 30 or 35 looks nice because there's not a huge gap from the rim to the edge of the tire. however, tires like hummer tires are probably around thr 60's or 70's(though I dunno for sure) and lowriders who have super lowprofile rims are probably around 10(though again, I'm not exactly sure.

I was thinking about running a 295\30 out back as well. I didnt want my rear to have to much rubber, does anyone have pic or info to back this up?

i agree. or go a 40. i think bfg makes a 265/35 and a 295/35. those will be my next set unless i can find a 305/35 in a street tire.

You need to match the total height of your stock wheel use this tool to see what you can use http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp. . If you go with a 30 which it may be possible to have a flat tire and or bent rim if you hit a pothole. I have a friend with a BMW that his happen with his 30s.
